Connecting and charging ging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe
and can be used in the bathroom without hesitation.
• Plug the charger base (e) into an electrical outlet and place
the toothbrush handle (c) on the charger base.
• The blue charge indicator (d) flashes while the handle is
being charged. If you then use your brush and place it back
on the charger, the charging light will again flash to let you
know it is charging.
• When the handle is fully charged, the charge indicator
shines continuously. A full charge takes at least 16 hours
and enables up to two weeks of regular brushing.
• When the rechargeable battery is running low, your
toothbrush will slow down, then stop. It will then need a 10-
minute charge before you can use it for a 2-minute cleaning
session.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on
the charger base to maintain it at full power. Overcharging
is impossible.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable
battery, unplug the charger base and fully discharge the
handle by regular use at least every 6 months.
Specifica ions
Refer to the bottom of the charger base for voltage
specifications.

Using your toothbr
Using your toothbrush ush
Attach one of the brushheads (1 or 2) to the handle. They
can be used with any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing,
guide the brushhead to your teeth before switching the
appliance on.
Cus omised Speed Con rol
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 offers a variable range of
speeds to best meet your individual needs. High speed is
ideal for tooth and gumline cleaning. For cleaning sensitive
teeth and gum tissue as well as precision use of the
accessory (4), we recommend using a lower speed.
• Press the on/off button once to operate at maximum
speed.
• Continue to hold the on/off button to shift from the highest
speed to the Customised Speed Control mode.
• As long as you keep the on/off button pressed, the handle
will continuously run through all speed levels.
• Release the on/off button to brush with your preferred
speed level.
• Push the on/off button once more to turn the toothbrush
off.
• If you then turn it on again you will automatically come
back to the maximum speed level.
Ul ima e Plaque Removal
For cleaner teeth and healthier, firmer gums, Oral-B®
ProfessionalCare™ 8500 gently cleans in areas where
plaque bacteria can collect. It removes up to 97% of plaque
from hard-to-reach areas, prevents build-up of tartar and is
gentle on teeth and gums.
Brushing technique:
• Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to tooth.
• Hold the brushhead in place for a few seconds before
moving on to the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then
the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all
the work.
Pressure Sensor
For optimal brushing results Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500
has a pressure control feature to ensure that the right degree
of pressure is applied. This helps protect your gums from
excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush easy to
operate. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating
movement of the brushhead will continue but the pulsation
will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also hear the
difference.

Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals, which you
can hear and feel, reminds you to brush the four quadrants of
your mouth equally for a better overall clean.
2-Minu e Timer
A long stuttering sound indicates when the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
During the first few days of using the toothbrush, your gums
may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few
days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your
dentist or hygienist.

accessories
The Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 offers you a variety of
brushheads and accessories, allowing you to select those
which best meet your individual needs. They are all designed
for daily use:
1 FlexiSof ®brushhead
The FlexiSoft®brushhead features our outstanding
oscillating-pulsating action to effectively clean your teeth,
clean along the gumline and in hard-to-reach areas such as
behind teeth. The compact round brushhead surrounds
each tooth for a thorough clean. The green FlexiSoft®
bristles bend, enabling both gentle brushing and deeper
reach of the blue Interdental Tips between teeth.
2 ProBrigh ™ brushhead
The ProBright™ brushhead is specifically designed to
polish and naturally whiten your teeth by removing coffee,
tea and tobacco stains. It features our outstanding
oscillating-pulsating head action of the FlexiSoft®
brushhead to effectively clean teeth, combined with the
special polishing cup for natural brightening. Although you
can use any kind of toothpaste, a whitening paste is likely
to result in optimal performance. We do not recommend
using the ProBright™ brushhead with braces.
Apply the same brushing technique as described in the
section «Ultimate Plaque Removal» for both brushheads.
Both brushheads feature blue INDICATOR®bristles to help
you monitor brushhead replacement. With thorough
brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue colour will
fade halfway within 3 months, signaling it is time to change
the brushhead.

3 In erspace brushhead
The Interspace brushhead is designed for cleaning
between teeth as well as around bridges, crowns and
implants. To use, position brushhead at 45 degree angle to
gumline. Slowly guide the brushhead along the gumline,
pausing between teeth for optimal results.
4 Tongue Freshener
The Tongue Freshener freshens breath by removing odour-
causing bacteria from the tongue. It can be used everyday –
before or after brushing. You can also use mouthwash with
the Tongue Freshener.
Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance on and drag it
across the tongue from back to front. We recommend a low
speed setting for enhanced control during use. Rinse after
use. Replace the Tongue Freshener when materials become
worn.
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 replacement brushheads
and accessories are available in stores that sell Oral-B
products.

Cleaning reco endations eco endations
• After brushing, rinse your brushhead or accessory
thoroughly under running water for several seconds with
the handle switched on.
• Switch off the handle and remove the brushhead or
accessory from the handle. Clean all parts separately under
running water, then wipe them dry before you reassemble
the brush and put the handle on the charger base.
• From time to time, also clean the charger base and the
brushhead compartment with a damp cloth.
• For cleaning purposes, the brushhead compartment is
removable.

I have sensi ive ee h and gums.
Wha is he bes way o brush wi h my
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500?
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 is as safe as a
soft manual toothbrush at all speed levels.
However, it gives you the flexibility to choose
your desired speed level, best meeting your
individual needs.
Can children use
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500?
Given the product's enhanced plaque removal
capabilities and equal safety to soft manual
toothbrushes, Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500
toothbrushes can be used by children. Children
under age three should use the product under
parental supervision, to ensure that all teeth and
other areas of the mouth are properly cleaned.
Children under 12 should not use the ProBright™
brushhead.
I wear braces.
Wha is he recommended way o brush?
Gently place the brush at an angle between the
brackets and gums. Using a slower speed level
will help maximize the precision. The Tongue
Freshener can be used with braces, but use of
the ProBright™ brushhead is not recommended.
For everyday cleaning, Oral-B's Ortho brushhead
is specifically designed to clean around braces
and wires and can be used with the Oral-B®
ProfessionalCare™ 8500.
I have bridges, crowns and fillings in my
mou h. Wha is he bes way o brush wi h my
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500?
Like all Oral-B power toothbrushes, Oral-B®
ProfessionalCare™ 8500 can be used by
consumers with bridges, implants and crowns.
We recommend using a slower mode for even
better control.
I have recen ly had oral surgery. Can I use
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500?
You should always follow the instructions given
by your oral surgeon or periodontist after an
operation. Typically in the first few days following
surgery, teeth and gums may be too sensitive for
any toothbrush use. As quickly as your teeth and
gums heal to permit brushing, you can proceed
with using Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500. Its
slow mode of brushing speed may be beneficial.
The outstanding plaque removal capability will be
particularly valuable, as a clean mouth will aid the
healing process.
Wha happens if I use he Oral-B®
ProfessionalCare™ 8500 Tongue Freshener a
a high speed ins ead of he recommended low
speed?
The Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500
accessories can be operated at high or low
speeds. However, we recommend the lower
speed for optimal control.
If I have comments/questions about my
Oral-B®ProfessionalCare™ 8500 what
should I do?
